The last few weeks we had problems with 2.1.8, so today I tried to
install 2.1.9 on our test system. When building it, we encountered some
problems with the compilation. I saw the same problems in 2.1.8, but
then there were more serious problems, so I forgot to mention them in
this mail group.
This is information about the operating system:
/etc/os-release
::::::::::::::
NAME="SLES"
VERSION="12-SP5"
VERSION_ID="12.5"
PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5"
ID="sles"
ANSI_COLOR="0;32"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:suse:sles:12:sp5"
I downloaded the opendnssec-2.1.9.tar.gz file and extracted its contents
in a directory.
I changed directory into the opendnssec-2.1.9 directory and I used
"./configure" to prepare for building.
Then I used the "make" command, to build the programs. This continued
for some time, but then it exited with the following messages:
../../common/scheduler/worker.h:38:1: warning: C++ style comments are
not allowed in ISO C90 [enabled by default]
//~ #include <time.h>
^
../../common/scheduler/worker.h:38:1: warning: (this will be reported
only once per input file) [enabled by default]
adapter/adapi.c: In function ‘adapi_process_rr’:
adapter/adapi.c:329:13: error: ‘for’ loop initial declarations are
only allowed in C99 mode
for (int i = 0; i < strlen(str); i++) {
^
adapter/adapi.c:329:13: note: use option -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 to
compile your code
Makefile:801: recipe for target 'adapter/adapi.o' failed
make[2]: *** [adapter/adapi.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/downloads/opendnssec-2.1.9/signer/src'
Makefile:483: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/downloads/opendnssec-2.1.9/signer'
Makefile:534: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
From these errors I concluded that I had to add the "-std=c99" option
to the compiler, so I used:
export CFLAGS="-std=c99"
./configure
make clean
make
But then another errors was printed:
./wire/notify.h:64:21: error: field ‘timeout’ has incomplete type
struct timespec timeout;
^
Makefile:801: recipe for target 'daemon/signertasks.o' failed
make[2]: *** [daemon/signertasks.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/downloads/opendnssec-2.1.9/signer/src'
Makefile:483: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/downloads/opendnssec-2.1.9/signer'
Makefile:534: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
I finally found a work-around with
unset CFLAGS
./configure
make clean
make
Then, when the above error caused an exit of the make, I entered the
signer/src directory and I copied/pasted the latest gcc command shown,
adding the -std=c99 option. Then I returned to the main directory and
used "make" again, which continued to compile other source files. This I
had to do for about three source files.
I have the impression that I now have a working set of programs,
although I am a little bit worried having linked object files with
different compiler options.
So, two questions:
1) Is there a way to use configure such that the compilation does not
end with errors?
2) Is a mix of object files with and without the -std=c99 option dangerous?
